Tom I am so sorry! Dang I hate when something happens to animals!
On a side note, I was coming out of a store the other day and this woman and her kid (maybe 6-12yrs I cant tell) were blocking the drive and the boy was chasing something is circles, it was a baby field mouse....well he accidently stepped on it and it stopped moving, so instinctly I rolled the window down and asked if she wanted me to run it over knowing this would put it out of its misery....she looked at me but never responded.....same type of woman that lets her kid play with a baby disease carrying mouse.....so I just rolled up the window and drove around them.....
